Human Intuition
Individuals are more likely to break up or divorce when separated Out of sight out of mind
Birds of a feather flock together, trumps “opposites attracts” Evolutionary Theory
Individuals produce more offspring than can surviveIndividuals in a population vary in form, function and behavior and much of that variation is heritable Some forms of these heritable traits improve an individual’s chances of survival and reproduction Absence of evidence doesn’t mean evidence of absence

observational research
useful for generating hypotheses
provides information in natural setting
however, it sometimes yields biased results
survey research
inexpensive, large numbers (participants and variables)
sometimes yields biased results
difficult to be unobtrusive
cannot establish cause and effect
correlational research
examine large number of variables
provide information about the degree of the relationship
but cannot establish cause and effect
correlation is not causation
self selection
a problem that arises when the participant rather than the researcher selects his or her level on each variable experimental research
the only method to establish causality
experiments can be replicated
random assignment
condition A vs. Condition B
Outcome-dependent variable
But the results can be artificial-can have low external validity Demand characteristics
*know advantages/disadvantages of the three research methods

Self-Awareness
Explicit understanding that one exists, develops around age of 2 Do other animals have a sense of self?
No, animals are not self-aware
Sometimes animals think their reflections are another animal Chimpanzees and orangutans do
The Social Self
The self is a product of our construals
We also come to know ourselves through our social relationships Who we are is heavily affected by our social environment
Working self-conceptIndividual self: personal traits, abilities, preferences, tastes, talents Relational self: sense of oneself in specific relationships (hard-working student) Collective self: beliefs about our identities as members of social groups

Reflected Self Appraisals
Social Comparison Theory
People compare themselves to other people in order to obtain an accurate assessment of themselves Slight downward comparisons are common
The Better than Average Effect
Also called the “Lake Wobegon” effect (a novel where everyone is better than average at everything) Positive feedback leads to inflated ego
Different criteria for goodness
The Spotlight Effect
People think that others are attending to their appearance or behaviors more than they actually are The Transparency EffectWe think people know when we’re lying, but really we’re better liars than we think In collective societies different words for “I” are used when talking to different people Humans tell self-narratives, but narratives vary cross-culturally Subjective self-awareness

Cells are small membrane bound units filled with concentrated aqueous solution of chemicals and given the ability of reproducing itself by dividing. Thus for this purpose the cells are the fundamental unit of life.
If cells are modified to specific specialization they cause the cell to lose its ability to reproduce, as a result they end up depending on other cells for the basic needs.
In all living things genes are stored in the DNA molecule, encoded in the same chemical code, constructed out of the same chemical compounds, interpreted by the same chemical machinery and reproduce in the same way.
DNA, RNA and proteins are the three main group of macromolecules which are important for the function of the cell.
Cell can function properly only if it has the correct set of proteins within the cell.
Genetic continuity is the ability of the cell to renew it self and cont. living through the next generation.
Central Dogma states that the DNA is transcribed into RNA which gets translated into proteins. Proteins dominates the behavior of the cell. This is the one idea which unifies all the cells, let it be prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
Proteins are made up of amino acid which are attached to each other in different sequence giving the proteins its unique 3D structure (conformation).
DNA polymerase not only synthesis the DNA, but it also checks to make sure that it is reading it correctly. It proof reads what it makes, to ensure that there...

In this experiment the thin-layer chromatography the (TLC) will be used to determine the
composition of various over-the-counter analgesic. We will be given two commercially prepared TLC plates
with a flexible backing and a silica-gel coating with a fluorescent indicator. On the
first TLC plate, a reference plate, we will spot five standard compounds . In addition, a standard reference mixture containing four
of these same compounds will be spotted. In this experiment we will not be using Ibuprofen because it would overlap with salicylamide after the plate is developed.On
the second plate (the sample plate), you will spot Naproxen sodium as an additional
standard and four commercial analgesic preparations in order to determine their
composition.
Two methods of visualization will be used to observe the positions of the spots
on the developed TLC plates. First, the plates will be observed while under illumination
from a short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV) lamp
For a second means of visualization, iodine vapor will be used

...strain of tracking rather than to handle all store maintenance. Further features may include the ability to generate reports of sales, but again the interpretation is left to the management. In addition, since theft does occasionally occur, the system provides solutions for confirming the store inventory and for correcting stock quantities.
2. System Requirements
The Inventory Management System uses a web-based interface to display inventory data to the stock manager client. The product will use of open-source software primarily due to cost of implementation. A JSP (JavaServer Pages) servlet will be hosted by an Apache Tomcat web server (on top of any choice of operating system, although a flavor of Unix is recommend). The first feature of the Stock Manager Client web interface component allows the Stock Manager Client to view the current stock of products, along with the capabilities of searching and sorting the products. The second feature of the Stock Manager Client web interface will allow the user to modify application settings, such as the threshold for email notifications, frequency of inventory scans (daily at a particular hour, weekly, monthly, etc.), and security settings. The third feature of the Stock Manager Client web interface will allow the user to update the inventory during the restocking process. See Figure 1. Since a web interface will be used, a network that supports the HTTP/HTTPS protocol must exist, whether it is...

...Discourse, practice, effects
* Eg. We imprison people for offences, what can happen, the practices and effects of this imprisonment produces a particular type of person (Foucault)
* Discourse produces “truth” claims
* Knowledge located within a discourse
* Foucault: critique of power as repression; power as possession and the zero-sum view of power (doesn’t exist, rather constantly shifting)
* Power is everywhere, but not necessarily neg/pos
* JUSTICE
* Contestive concept of what we think the “ law should aim to do”
* Equality, fairness, respect for individual rights
* Notion that justice will right wrongs
* John Rawls (1971): “ justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought.”
* Impossibility of justice
* Formal justice: Due process (procedural justice)
* Right to a fair trial
* Right to hear what one is accused of
* Right to be heard in front of a judge or jury
* Right to know the crime
* Substantive justice: The outcome of legal proceedings and or legal relationships/transactions.
* Justice can be studied as an objective issue through focusing on “what ought to be or subjective through focusing on the experiences of individuals involved.
* The greatest injustice happens when the victim is not allowed to give evidence of...
